This place is bounded fontherly for near a mile on the r : ver Raman, where it empties into the bay about 1 Z miles from Sandy* Hook, and affords two most agreeable fit nations for Grn-lemrns' Sea's. There are now on it, two brir.k houses, with gardens, and a good colle&ion of fruit trees of the bell kinds. The land is v ry fertile, and a great part of it very good meadow ; from its situ ation on the river, has the advantage of fifh of different kinds, in their seasons, particularly of oyflers and chicken clams, which may be picked in great plenty on the flits before the doors. It is a delightful, healthy situation, capable of genteel and tasty improve ments ; and as Perth- Ambov is one of the best sea-ports in the United States, and within 18 miles of the sea, the orofoeft of its ir.creafing in value from that circumstance, is by no means mcotw fiderable.
